Im looking for a 6in lift for my 17 ram. What are the differences between BDS and RC besides the price? Parts look almost the same and there is a $1000 difference!


Looking for a 6in lift with OEM ride quality.

I'm sure someone will be able to answer your question who has the specific knowledge Ivey.

I just wanted to thank you for your service.

Oh & BDS has a more economical cousin....Zone...Zone lifts are extremely popular on the forums.

I went with Superlift & am very happy with it.

Just had a Zone 6/3 installed on my 2017. I am very happy with it.

I went with the 6" BDS. Ride quality is great and it was well made. If I had it to go again I would probably go with the Zone. Although the BDS is nice I don't think the difference is worth the extra price I paid but that's just my two cents. Also the instructions were vague at best and hard to follow.

Ride quality

The ride quality is great, surprisingly. I have read a ton of posts that state their lifts ride better than OEM, honestly I was not convinced. But now that I have mine installed I can honestly say it rides nice. It's not as smooth as stock, but you don't thrown on a 6" lift and 35" MT's for a smooth quite ride.

I went with the Zone 6/5 lift with Fox coilovers in the front. The ride is fantastic. I am ~45" in the front, and ~46" in the rear.
